+
+This parameter controls the behavior of url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html) when
+given a request by a client to obtain a byte range lock on a region
+of an open file, and the request has a time limit associated with it.
+
+If this parameter is set and the lock range requested cannot be
+immediately satisfied, Samba 2.0 will internally queue the lock
+request, and periodically attempt to obtain the lock until the
+timeout period expires.
+
+If this parameter is set to "False", then Samba 2.0 will behave
+as previous versions of Samba would and will fail the lock

+em("watch") a particular directory for any changes and only reply to
+the SMB request when a change has occurred. Such constant scanning of
+a directory is expensive under UNIX, hence an
+url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html) daemon only performs such a scan on each
